3rd Person POV
The twins looked warily at the Royal and General Bank. One of them was a boy, with fair hair and brown eyes. He had the type of face that would make girls swoon for him, but his eyes were dark and serious. It was as though he had seen more than a kid his age should see. He had an athletic build and was in great shape. The other was a girl; she had long brown hair that was a mixture between curly and wavy with brown eyes. Her eyes held the same darkness as her brothers. She had the build of a cheerleader, which it was possible she was, and could be the most popular girl at the school they went to. The boy was Alex Rider and the girl was his younger sister, even if by a few minutes, Bethany.
"Are you sure we should go in?" Alex asked.
"No, but they did say they would use force if they had to," Bethany replied, "And we have nowhere else to go. Might as well see what they want."
Together they went inside. Standing there, waiting for them, was a man with short black hair and serious blue eyes. The two of them could recognize him anywhere, and it gave them some comfort.
"Ben," Alex greeted him.
"Alex, Bethany," Ben replied smirking.
"Do you know why they want us?" Bethany asked.
"As a matter of fact I do, and no I won't tell you."
He led them into the elevator. They went up to where the current chairman of the MI6 stayed; Tulip Jones. They passed by their uncle's old office. No one had moved in there yet, from what they could tell. Neither of them decided to mention it and Ben opened the wooden door to Mrs. Jones' office. She was sitting there, sucking a peppermint. It looked like nothing had changed.
"Please sit, Agent Daniels you may stay if you wish," Mrs. Jones said.
"Actually if you don't mind, I will wait outside," Ben replied closing the wooden door behind him.
"Thanks Fox," Alex grumbled while Bethany played with her bracelet.
They were fixed with Mrs. Jones stare. It was as though she was sizing them up. Neither Alex nor Bethany shrank under her glare.
"Well," Mrs. Jones said, "I can't ignore the fact that you two don't have a guardian. Therefore I put it upon myself to give you some."
"We do have a guardian!" Bethany exclaimed, "Ben!"
"He's not your legal guardian," Mrs. Jones replied, "He was just temporary. He'll still live with you guys, with your new guardians."
Alex shifted, "Do we know him or her?"
"Yes, you know them. To you they are K- Unit."
Bethany spluttered, "What? They hate our guts, well not Fox or Wolf that much…"
"Do they even know?" Alex said cutting off his sister.
"They know they are in charge of two kids indefinitely, but they don't know it's you," Mrs. Jones replied, "And Agent Daniels will be there."
Bethany was staring at Mrs. Jones, at the same time she handed the two of them their bags. It was clear the matter was closed and there was no changing Mrs. Jones mind. Ben came in and put an arm on the twins' shoulders. Bethany shrugged him off and walked out, Alex followed.
"It will take some time," Mrs. Jones said softly, "Work with them, get them to open up."
Outside Bethany and Alex waited. Alex was wearing a light blue top with a dark blue symbol 'A' on it. Bethany was wearing a black shirt that read 'Being Normal Must Suck!'. They were both waiting for their ride, to wherever it was they were going. Alex shouldered his blue pack and stared at where he was shot.
"Beth," Alex said, "What do you think of this?"
"I don't know," Bethany sighed, she was playing with her bracelet again.
Alex noticed this, it had become a nervous habit of hers. Not that he minded, her bracelet was something that their godfather, Ash, had given her and Smithers modified to make it a deadly weapon. Each of the different colored hearts has a different type of weapon. For example the green one is a mini knife that doesn't show up on any metal detector of any kind. It came in handy a few times.
Ben came up behind them.
"Alright, come with me. I'll take you guys to the flat," Ben said.
They followed Ben until they came towards a silver SUV. The two sat in the backseat and placed their bags at their feet. There was an awkward silence during the whole car ride. No one had anything to say, and it seemed that the twins weren't very talkative. Eventually, they got to the flat and opened the door.
"We're home!" Ben called.
Immediately a very hyper young man appeared. He had brown hair and bright happy green eyes. They immediately recognized Eagle. Bethany took a step back and grabbed Alex's arm. He understood, Bethany was the quiet kid at school. She was always sitting around reading or writing in her diary, which was more like a journal. Eagle's happy and bubbly personality obviously frightened her, or at least startled her.
"Whoa!" Ben exclaimed, "Slow down Eagle, you're overwhelming the kids."
"We're not kids Fox," Alex replied glaring at him.
"Sure you aren't."
"CUB? PUP?" Eagle exclaimed.
Sounds of feet getting up hurriedly reached their ears. A man with fair hair and dark brownish gold eyes comes in, he's known as Snake. Behind him is a man with black close cropped hair and cold dark eyes, they recognize Wolf. Having worked with him in the past.
"What are you two doing here?" Wolf barked.
"Well," Ben sighed, "Remember the two kids we're taking care of indefinitely?"
The three nodded, waiting for Fox to get to the point.
"That's Cub and Pup, also known as Alex and Bethany Rider," Ben ended.
"Rider?" Wolf asked, "As though Ian and John Rider?"
"John Rider was our dad and Ian Rider was our father's brother," Alex explained cautiously.
"We lived with Ian," Bethany said slowly, "Before…"
Snake realized that they were still standing in the doorway.
"Let's talk in the lounge," Snake suggested.
They all moved into the brown living room. Seriously, the carpet was brown, the walls were brown, and even the bloody couch was brown. The twins sat down on the couch with the rest all spread out randomly. Eagle was on the floor with Ben, Wolf was in the armchair, and Snake was sitting next to Bethany.
"So, what happened to your old guardians?" Eagle asked interested.
Ben made to hit him for lack of tact.
"Uh, they're gone," Alex managed.
"Gone? What do you mean gone?" Eagle asked.
"I thought the meaning was clear," Wolf grumbled.
Ben whispered something in Eagle's ear when the two didn't answer.
"Any injuries?" Snake asked.
"Only a few scrapes," Bethany replied eyeing everyone carefully, she wasn't know to trust quickly.
"Nothing to serious," Alex added.
"I meant since we last saw you two," Snake replied.
The two stiffened. Alex found a small aching where his bullet wound was. Bethany tried not to clutch the middle of her chest, where she was stabbed in the Snakehead mission. Ben noticed this, he knew about both injuries, and sighed.
"Let them get settled in first," Ben announced, "They can answer our questions later."
The two Riders send a thankful look to Ben before Wolf showed them their separate rooms. Alex's has navy blue walls and a blue bed spread. There's a dark oak wood dresser and a desk in the corner. In Bethany's room the walls are a soft purple and the bedspread is a dark purple with black designs. In the corner is a desk and a dark oak wood dresser is off to the side.
"Your rooms," Wolf grunted.
"Thanks Wolf," the two chorused before giving each other a startled look and going into their rooms.
Me: I hope this is okay…
Alex: Can we leave now?
Eagle: PLEASE!
Me: Once someone asks for reviews.
Everyone: EAGLE!
Eagle: *Pouts* Fine, please review. Now can we leave?
